Over the weekend 

Over the weekend I visited with some friends. A married couple with a new baby...who actually introduced my husband and I years ago. I invited them over to my new place. We chatted about the baby, their jobs, my job, what I've been up to, yadda yaddda yadda. Then, inevitably, the question was asked.

 

"So, how are things with you and (husband's name)?"

 

Ah! So down to the nitty gritty huh? Ok, I can do this.

 

"Well, we're still talking, going out, and getting along fairly well. We're going to re visit everything in September and make a decision then. One way or the other, I need to move on and he knows that."

 

They seemed so glad that I didn't break down or tear up like I used to. My girlfriend said,

 

"You seem to be ok with whatever is going to happen. That's so great to see! You seem much stronger and happier now."

 

It was nice to hear her say that. It's even better to really feel it, too.

With people, keep everything above board.  It is best for everyone, believe me.  I made the mistake a few times to unload (10 minutes) to a simple question.........How are you kev?..............So keep it positive and don't be impulsive as the emotions can get the best of us.  You did a good job...............................Kev

But did'ja break down as soon as they left?  I'm so kidding!!    I think that you have gained strength throughout all this and confidence too.    And your response to them showed class not to resorting to finger pointing and all that.

Congratulations. It is great that you are feeling stronger. I am getting that way too. Even when my stbxh says the stupidest, most insensitive things they just roll off. It just doesn't matter what he thinks anymore.
